  • Patent number: 8467192
    Abstract: A method for producing a rollable web with successive antennas, where an electronic chip is attached to an antenna in a predetermined position. The position of an electronic chip changes with respect to the antenna when compared to at least some of the chips within individual and successive antennas. A rollable web includes successive antennas, where electronic chips are attached to antennas in a predetermined position. In the rollable web, the position of a chip changes with respect to the antenna compared to at least some of the chips within individual and successive antennas.

  • Publication number: 20110102279
    Abstract: A transponder including a first antenna and an integrated circuit on a chip electrically connected to the first antenna. A second antenna is physically separated from the first antenna. The second antenna is close enough to the first antenna so that the second antenna can couple with the first antenna. One of the first antenna and the second antenna is transferable with respect to the other antenna so that the coupling between the antennas is preventable.

  • Patent number: 7492164
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a product sensor (2), and a product sensor (2). In the manufacturing method, a circuitry pattern is formed in the product sensor (2) for achieving an antenna circuit (L, C1, C2). In addition, the product sensor (2) is provided with at least one measuring means (13), whose at least one electrical property is affected by at least one condition. Product control is performed by measuring the at least one measuring means (13) formed in the product sensor (2), which means is affected by at least one condition, at least one electrical condition. In order to form a product sensor, at least a first (3) and a second module (5) are formed, the first of the modules (3) being provided with at least a part of said antenna circuit, and the second module (5) being provided with said at least one measuring means (13). Said at least two modules (3, 5) are connected to each other.

  • Patent number: 7244332
    Abstract: The Invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a smart label web. The smart label web comprises smart labels placed one after another and/or side by side and comprising a circuitry pattern and an integrated circuit on a chip therein. In the method, an electrical contact is formed between the integrated circuit on a chip and the circuitry pattern of the smart label in the smart label web in such a way that a structural part separated from a separate carrier web and comprising an integrated circuit on a chip is attached to the smart label. The structural part contains a thermoplastic material whereby it is attached to the smart label.

  • Patent number: 7152803
    Abstract: The present invention relates to manufacture of a smart label web, the smart label web comprising smart labels one after another and/or side by side. The smart label web comprises also a circuitry pattern and an integrated circuit on a chip attached to it. In the method, an electric contact is formed between the integrated circuit on the chip and the circuitry pattern on the smart label of the smart label web in such a way that a structural part separated from a separate carrier web and containing the integrated circuit on the chip is electrically connected to the smart label by pressing mechanically. The structural part or the smart label comprises a thermoplastic film whereby the structural part is attached to the smart label substantially entirely.
